Maine To Get Back on Track, Likes Jennifer Aniston (Huh?)
John Maine, easily the Mets’ most impressive pitcher coming out of spring training, will try to get back on track Monday against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Maine is 1-1 with a 3.78 ERA but is unhappy with his control, having given up 12 walks in 16 2/3 innings in three starts. “I don’t know what it is,” Maine said. “I sure hope it will get better. I don’t want to be walking four guys a game. I’ve done a good job of getting out of trouble, but I don’t want to get in it. That’s what walking guys will do.” Maine has allowed only three earned runs in his last 12 2/3 innings and looks like the dominant pitcher from spring training. Maine still remains a No. 3 Fantasy SP in mixed leagues. He should get two starts Fantasy Week 4 (April 21-27) with his second start coming against the Braves. Maine lost to the Braves on April 5 after allowing four runs and eight hits in four innings. (CBS Sports)

According to Hollyscoop, Mets RHP John
Maine has a crush on Jennifer Aniston, saying:
“I just love her soft and natural, girl-next-door looks and the way she carries herself, her whole demeanor…Oh, yes, the hair. The hair is unbelievable! I think she just gets better looking as she gets older.”
…oh, johnny…don’t ever change, buddy…i mean, did he really say, “Oh, yes, the hair.”…dear god, i hope not…nevertheless, i totally understand the crush…who doesn’t…
On what he would do if he meets her, Maine says:
“”I’d probably be so nervous, I would trip over my feet. I guess I would take some pictures with her and give her a hug. Maybe she’ll contact me somehow and it will actually happen. Wow, how cool would that be?”
Umm . . . Okaaaay.
